Monterey Deanery Shield small 218x238

Eucharistic Visitor Training on October 1 at All Saints’, Carmel

(2013-10) October 2013 Events, ,

Monterey Deanery Shield small 218x238Eucharistic Visitor training for the Monterey Deanery will take place at All Saints’ on October 1, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the church.  Please contact your congregational clergy if you are interested in becoming a Lay Eucharistic Visitor, then register with Ann Wright at annwright6@comcast.net.

A Lay Eucharistic Visitor is an individual licensed by the diocese to distribute the communion host and wine that has already been blessed by the clergy. Lay Eucharistic Visitors are then assigned to take communion to persons who are unable to attend our regular worship services, such as shut-ins or people recovering from illness in hospitals. The bread and wine they carry act as a symbol of the unity of Christ’s Body, which transcends boundaries of time and space, providing a sense of connection to persons who might otherwise feel isolated.

Priest/Deacon:  I send you forth bearing these gifts for (name of person), that s/he may share with us in this Sacrament of Holy Communion.

People: We who are many are one body, for we all share one bread, one cup.

(2013-06) June 2013 Events,

Inviting-and-WelcomingSt. John’s in Aptos is presenting a two hour workshop on how we can be more inviting and welcoming as congregations. It’s not enough just to open the doors and welcome all who come. How do we invite? How do we practice and proclaim who we are as a community of faith asking others to join us on our path. This two hour workshop will include discussion and practice in inviting friends and strangers and then how to welcome without overwhelming.
